hey drrrtyboots

so you're leaving this saturday or the following one?

following saturday

!@#$%!- it's just with my aunt and uncle.

Hello Schizo, everybody.

cool.

oh, nice.

im thinking of going to california as well. i need a short vacation, and i miss the beach.


hey mr. neruda

Oh I wish to be Neruda, or even Lorca.

hello all

yeah, hello cleveland!

actually i prefer GARCIA lorca over neruda. he was a finer poet i think-- most people won't agre with me but they can kiss my ass.

Cleveland ROCKS!

that sounds familiar.

wasnt that from some tv show with a fatso?

I do like Lorca a lot, sometimes I can't differentiate between the two. Right now I am just in a Neruda mood.

ha! i can tell. what are you reading?

Hahaha no, it's a song. By...Ian Hunter? But on the Drew Carey Show they used to sing it i think.

Residencia en la Tierra, along with Pablo Neruda by Adam Feinstein.

residencia is awesome, but depressive. my favorite one of the 3 book is "tango del viudo" which is amazing. neruda btw "renounced" that book later when he was a communist-- he said young people shouldn't be reading that depressive shit.

i would recoment Alturas de Macchu Picchu for his most epic stuff.

from Garcia Lorca, a lot of people like Poeta en Nueva York, but my favorite book by him is Divan del Tamarit-- can't be read in translation though, too much delicate music gets destroyed in the process.

I read Poeta en Nueva York when I fist had dropped out of High School. I thouhgt it was an amazing book of poetry. It was such a different attitude than other poetry I had been reading at that time. After Lorca it was Neruda, I thank them for giving me a chance at good Spanish poetry. I will look for those, on my next paycheck.
